Chapter 266: Valley of the Holy Maiden
"No, there are countless miasma in the world, and the poisons that grow in different miasma have different medicinal properties. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info I don't know what kind of miasma he is using, and I can't prescribe the right medicine at all. "Wang Liufu is better at extracting the venom from the poison, and he is not very good at making poison with medicinal materials.
"Hey......" The little hope that everyone had just raised was extinguished again, and this sense of disparity made everyone extremely uncomfortable.
"That man told us to listen to Xie Chaoyu's words, but if Xie Chaoyu died in the middle of inviting the saint, then what should we do? If that person refuses to deal with us, won't we be able to live?" One of them suddenly remembered something, and when he said this, everyone's mood became even worse.
No matter how their mood changes, they should still live this day. Xie Chaoyu was going to hold a ceremony to invite the saint three days later, and they still had to prepare some things necessary for the ceremony.
This ritual of the White Lotus Sect, of course, can't be in Jinling City, they say it's ugly, but they can be regarded as anti-thieves. After all, the target in the city is too big, and if it attracts the attention of the Chinese military governor's office, I am afraid that it will have to be served in a pot.
Therefore, after some discussion, they settled on a valley about a hundred miles south of Jinling City. It's open and the land is so remote that it doesn't attract anyone's attention at all. Even if there are thousands of people hidden, they will not be discovered.
......
Originally, this valley did not have a name, but because the people of the White Lotus Sect were going to perform a ceremony to invite the Holy Maiden here, they temporarily named it the Valley of the Holy Maiden.
The valley as a whole is like a gourd-shaped, with a narrow entrance, but a spacious inside, and even a small pond. The pond is surrounded by reeds and some wild ducks swim in the water.
The White Lotus Sect built a small wooden house on the edge of the pond, which was the place where Xie Chaoyu lived. She had to stay here the day before the invitation began. If the invitation to the saint fails, this wooden house is her coffin, which is already a custom.
Xie Chaoyu sat on the edge of the bed in the wooden house, wearing a white robe, like a goddess. And beside her, there was an ugly maid, who was the green sleeve.
"Miss, why are you doing this? "Green Sleeves' eyes are a little red and swollen, this is a holy woman ceremony, basically there is death and no life, even if you barely survive, you will have disabilities and scars on your body. How could Miss endure such a beauty-loving person.
"Don't cry, you go out. Xie Chaoyu's face was cold, and he frowned slightly at the green sleeves. Greensleeves refused to move, grabbing one of her sleeves.
"Get out. Xie Chaoyu's voice became stern, and Green Sleeves immediately turned a little pale with fright, loosened the young lady's clothes, and walked out in small steps.
Xie Chaoyu got up from the edge of the bed, opened the window of the wooden house, and looked outside. At this time, there were many disciples in white clothes standing outside, and not far away, there was an acre of open space, and in the clearing, a lot of things had been placed.
Closest to the east was a pile of black charcoal, which would be lit when it was time to invite the Holy Maiden, and she would have to walk barefoot over it. When walking, the steps should not be large or small. The speed can't be slow, it can't be fast.
On the side of the charcoal is a row of large knives placed vertically, with the blades facing upward, each of which is extremely sharp, stacked into the shape of a mountain of knives. In many places, there is a custom of stepping on the knife mountain, but the kind of knife used is very blunt, and the people who step on the knife mountain have thick calluses under their feet, so it is not very difficult to walk. But Xie Chaoyu is different, she doesn't have calluses on her feet, and she just walked out of the sea of fire, and her feet must have been injured, if she steps on the knife mountain again, it is definitely a very dangerous thing.
Further west, thin iron hooks were tied to the pillars. The distance between each pillar is so small that if you want to walk through it, you will inevitably get scratched. This is the Hook Forest, and almost all the people who have invited the Holy Maiden in the past generations have fallen into this level, which is very terrible and cruel.
After the hook forest, there is a nail pond, digging a hole three feet long and eight feet wide, and filling it with inverted nail boards, from which people have to roll over. In terms of the degree of danger in this level, it is not as good as the first three levels, after all, the nails are dense, and it is okay to change anyone to go up. But the crux of the matter is that the previous level of Hook Forest has already pulled the flesh and skin on your body to scars, and then rolling over the nail pool, it is definitely a very torturous thing.
As for this last level, it is the most difficult, that is, you need to enter a huge wooden barrel, and in this wooden barrel, there will be countless insects, some of these insects are not poisonous, some are poisonous, and even if they are poisonous, they will not be very toxic. After all, it's about electing leaders, not about killing.
But this scene will be very scary, in the first few levels, your body is already injured and bleeding, and the bloody gas will attract those insects to bite you, unless you are really like iron, otherwise it will definitely collapse.
"It's cruel, whoever can come up with this idea will definitely be kicked in the brain by a donkey. Xie Chaoyu was looking out of the window, when suddenly a voice sounded behind her, startling her.
When she looked back, she saw an ugly and thin man, sitting on her bed with a bowl in one hand.
"Who are you?" Xie Chaoyu was a little surprised, all around the White Lotus Sect, how did this person come in?
"I said, you don't know me anymore? yes, I'm wearing this. Fang Hong was stunned for a moment, then understood, rubbed his face for a while, and tore off the thousand faces, revealing a somewhat pale face.
He wore this thing for two months, and his face could not be exposed to the sun, so it would naturally appear pale. Fang Hong rubbed his face vigorously, and the absence of the thousand-faced mask gave him a very transparent feeling.
Fang ...... Young Master Fang Hong. Xie Chaoyu's eyes couldn't help but widen, wasn't Fang Hong taken to the north by Uncle Zhong? Why did he still come here? Now those altar masters were eager to catch him, so as to threaten Uncle Dayuan.
"Do you think you're stupid? It's not so difficult to take power, so why don't you take this step? After these five levels, your life will be over. If you die, not only will you not be able to save my father, but even your White Lotus Sect will turn the sky upside down. Fang Hong ignored Xie Chaoyu's surprise, but scolded loudly. You say this woman is so good-looking, why is she so stupid?
Xie Chaoyu was immediately scolded and stunned, and she was also a little aggrieved in her heart, she also had no way, if she didn't invite the holy woman, Fang Dayuan would definitely die. Only by fighting for a moment, maybe there will be hope. After all, Tang Sai'er also succeeded back then.
